Beyond Arceus
Okay, here's a bit of a logic flub in the games as I see it.
Each game has had increasingly powerful Legends. Elemental representatives gave way to personification of the earth, sea, and sky, and then to anthropomorphized time, space, and dimension. This all culminated with Arceus last generation, who, for all intents and purposes, is God. So where do we go from here? How can Black and White have something beyond God? Will it be Chaos and Order? The Void? Will we be able to capture The Universe itself? Am I over-thinking things? |
Well Arceus created the universe :P
But nothing is impossible. Now we can talk about life, like real life, global warming? Natural and man made disaster? |

The way I see it, Arcues created Sinnoh but not the entire universe. I mean yeah, myths say it did but myths are still myths and can be greatly exaggerated. The people who learned of Arceus may have thought that Sinnoh was the entire world back then. So they still have plenty of options for legendaries.

Whether or not Arceus created the world is out of the question. If it's just a myth, then he's just another Pokemon, subject to the same fate as every Pokemon. If he indeed did create the world, there's nothing saying that he still has dominion over it. With Zekrom and Reshiram, we've gotten Pokemon which don't just create / destroy, but rather affect the development of the world, whether into technological or natural spheres.
tl;dr -- Arceus = birth, Zekrom + Reshiram = development |

Well I think Arceus did just create sinnoh... and as for the Pokedex entry, aren't these written by MAN? It's not like the Pokemon said it.

Nothing is going to be bigger then Arceus, Mew was supposed to be on top, but then Arceus took its place.

My thoughts on the whole "legendary created this" factor is that the legends hold true for the respective regions, but we don't know for sure regarding the other regions and the entire Pokemon world. Quote:

Johto's myths were all real as they were mostly about the existence of the legendary pokemon rather than what created what :), Kanto didn't really have any myths, just three very powerful birds, the only myth was Mew and that was considered an Urban or new myth... |
Arceus as God is just a Sinnoh myth. He's powerful, of course, but a god? Obviously, that's just a legend.

lol, people are squabbling whether Arceus is ultimately God, if He created the universe or not...
It's just like real life. Quote:
Also: Just because I thought it fit into this topic for some reason: |

I'm actually against the idea that Arceus created the universe, especially since the Canalave Library book that involves Arceus says that there was a chaos that its egg was in. I'm pretty sure Arceus must have dispelled the chaos or something, because something had to create that before Arceus even came along. Also, remember that it might just be part of the Sinnoh people's myths, not actually what happened.

Anything I just said up there is completebullshi- and I made it up on the spot. We all know Smeargle created the Universe by painting it :/ |
Well maybe Arceus created "this" universe and these legendaries are a part of a different universe that has just come to Earth? Similar to Deoxys basically...
And there have always been some overlap, like Lugia was the Guardian of the Seas and then Kyogre became the true leader of the water. And also Ho-Oh created the three legendary dogs and Mew "created" Mewtwo but yet Arceus technically created all pokemon. So there are overlap and they will probably just ignore it. Or they'll keep Arceus as the strongest and just introduce other legendaries who have their role in their regions, but not as big of a role as the big four: Arceus, Dialga, Giratina, Palkia |
